ZIRCONIUM NITRATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Zirconium nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula Zr(NO₃)₄. It is a white crystalline solid used primarily in the preparation of zirconium-based materials and catalysts. Zirconium nitrate is employed in the production of ceramics, where it acts as a precursor to zirconium oxide and other zirconium compounds. It is also used in the manufacture of explosives and pyrotechnics, where it serves as an oxidizing agent. In addition, zirconium nitrate is used in the chemical industry for various synthesis and analytical applications. Its high reactivity and versatility make it valuable in industrial and research settings.
